How to keep watermelon overnight without a refrigerator 1How to preserve leftover watermelonIf you can't finish the watermelon, you can wrap it with plastic wrap first, because there are many bacteria in the summer and it is easy to spoil. Plastic wrap can help prevent the invasion of bacteria and protect the watermelon. Then store it separately in the refrigerator's fresh-keeping drawer. You can also scoop out the remaining watermelon flesh and put it in a fresh-keeping box, and then store it in the refrigerator. But be aware that storing it for too long will affect the taste and freshness of the watermelon, so it is recommended to eat it as soon as possible. 2How long can watermelon be kept in the refrigerator?For uncut watermelons, they can be placed in the refrigerator for about 5 days. However, since the watermelons we buy may have been in the hands of the seller for a while, it is generally best to eat the watermelons within 2 to 3 days to ensure the freshness of the watermelons. It is best not to store the cut watermelons for more than two days, because the cut watermelons lose the protection of the rind, and even if they are sealed with plastic wrap, they will change taste and deteriorate, and the longer they are stored, the worse the quality and taste of the watermelons will be. 3How long can watermelon be stored at room temperature?If the watermelon is not cut, it can be stored at room temperature for about 10 days. After the watermelon is cut, it can generally be kept at room temperature for about 4 hours, because watermelon is rich in glucose and fructose, and the cut fruit pulp is easy to deteriorate when it comes into contact with bacteria and microorganisms in the air. Whether the watermelon is cut or not, it is best to store it in the refrigerator, because the low temperature environment can inhibit the reproduction of bacteria and extend the shelf life. 4How to keep watermelon overnight without a refrigeratorUncut watermelons can be stored in a basin filled with cold water. If the watermelon has been cut, it should be wrapped with plastic wrap and then placed in a basin filled with cold water. This can temporarily preserve the watermelon to a certain extent, but remember that this method will not keep it fresh for long. It is recommended that the watermelon be eaten as soon as possible. During the storage period, the water needs to be changed several times, otherwise the watermelon will easily deteriorate. |
